Milan Card - Oxford 2639

This is the first thread I've used that's a true 50/50 silk-wool mix, and the 10-yard length is perfect for a small project on 18 mesh. The non-strandable twist holds up well without fraying, though I did have to double-check the dye lot against my stash before starting.

I weave the 50/50 silk-wool blend together with a 13-mesh background and the sheen is just gorgeous. The 10-yard length was plenty for my small project and it feels so soft to the touch. The colors matched the online preview almost perfectly too.

The 50/50 silk and wool blend gives this thread a subtle sheen that makes the stitches pop on 18 mesh. I’ve worked through two projects with the 10-yard length and it never tangled, which is rare for a non-strandable fiber.
